2016 Map of Round Top

About this map

Round Top rises above the high plains of Morgan County, serving as a primary landmark in a landscape defined by industrial water management and agricultural irrigation. This 2016 survey highlights the complex engineering required to sustain the region, featuring the Fort Morgan Canal and the Upper Platte and Beaver Canal as they wind through the territory. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Pawnee Raw Water Reservoir and the Pawnee Evaporation Pond 1, 2 and 3 Reservoir, infrastructure critical to the nearby power and water utilities. Settlement is sparse, represented by a network of county roads such as Co RD R and Co RD 24, which provide access to the rural sections surrounding the eastern outskirts of Brush. The drainage of Badger Creek cuts across the northern boundary, illustrating the natural watercourse that exists alongside the massive human-made reservoir systems.
